Verified Veterinarian
Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I first taught high school when I graduated from undergraduate school, and quickly learned that being on stage every day in front of 120 teenagers was not my ideal scenario. After some soul searching, I realized being a Veterinarian was what I always wanted to do (my Mom later found 3 x 5 cards with medical records that I kept on all my stuffed animals as a child). With a 3 year old daughter in tow, I went back to Vet school and have never looked back. Of course, love for the animals is the primary focus, but I also love the connections that I have made with the animals' human families over the years. I have enjoyed all aspects of my working career- preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry, as well as euthanasia. But with the veterinary industry as busy as it is right now, the stress of in-clinic euthanasia for the pets as well as their families has become so overwhelming that I now want to focus on making our pets' final times as stress free as possible.

What pet parents are saying
This is the second time our family has used this service and the first with Dr. Earls. She was incredible in such a traumatic time. My sweet dog started failing fast and we scheduled it same day as we made the final decision. I cried the entire time and not once did Dr. Earls make me feel stupid or small. She listened to me, showed me such empathy, and talked me through every step. She also waited for my permission before each time she moved on so I was ready. I am grateful that if I had to go through something so sad, it was with someone like Dr. Earls.
Dr Carol was so patient and handled Sunnie with great respect and thoughtfulness. I would very much recommend reaching out to her if anyone is thinking about doing in home vs going to clinic. I am so glad I found this way and found her to handle this time of sadness. Thank you so so much Carole Tinsley
Dr. Earls was amazing. She had great communication with us. Was very compassionate and professional. This was my first time saying goodbye to a pet. And she was very patient and kind throughout. I can't imagine saying goodbye to a pet any other way. Thanks. Steve and Lisa.
Dr Earls was amazing. Fast to respond and was a true blessing for us. She was so good with our Cosmo and really made him feel comfortable. From start to finish she concentrated on Cosmo and us to make sure we all were good. She later sent us a beautiful “thinking of you” card and then later brought over a beautiful urn with his ashes and even a clay paw print. There was also a certificate and date of cremation. If you have to go through this I would recommend Dr. Carol Earls 100%. She is a wonderful caring person.
Dr. Carol was extremely compassionate and respectful. While I wish I could turn back the clock, I'm grateful that this service exists. Our dog passed peacefully in her own home.
